You guys are missing the point. I do not want the core to be used in a squad game. It would be cool, but it won't happen.
I want it to have, however, balance suitable for a squad game.
BSG core with Squad Game Balance

Unless you recruit a load of BSG fans to play the core for you

problem with documentation is
"what?! i have to read all that before i can play the core?" -> tldr
+ not everyone who just plays the game and doesn't do the forums would know where/what to read, or that they need to read anythingLast edited by madpeople on Sun Mar 09, 2008 4:25 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Agree with BV of course, also to that point, this core or I suppose the term novelty core works, will never be close to balanced, there simply is never enough playtesting or regular games to make it happen, especially at 15-25 players per side.

I think that's a bit general, EoR had decent support from players and enough of a following that it could have caught on more. It failed from lack of updates and insufficient playtesting, funny enough it wasn't from the poor (undeserved) core reputation.n.b.
